[QUOTE="Bossfarmer, post: 5289854, member: 44492"] Whether farm support is a good compromise for both the farmer and public comes down to what alternative is there for producing good quality traceable food and maintaining a sensible level of domestic production which does not expose the UK to exploitation by other countries in times of shortage/trade wars/disease out breaks/war?? would the public be better just paying the true cost of production?? (including all currently unpaid family labour hours on many uk farms at correct pay plus overtime) This would inevitably lead to cheaper imports from other countries who support their own farmers and have poorer welfare/big scale given that the sub comes from the general publics tax and that the richest and huge companies pay almost all of the tax in the UK are poorer people actually benefitting the most from a vast supply of cheap locally produced food and a much reduced weekly shopping bill?
